back on topic ;D
so now the stock sleeve GSR is in and ready to tune... i looked/asked around for a tuner in the tri-state area... after much thinking ,, i went with Chris@ XENOCRON.. and this is how it went!! got there late (was suposed to be there at 9am). we got lost and even saw a BEARR, like a Yogie but not as friendly BEARRR!!! rarrrr!! got there at about 11am and Chris got to work!! first pass @10psi made 331whp i stepped outside to talk to my wife for 2 minutes,, came back in the shop, and Chris was in the middle of a 2nd pull.. made 344whp... i asked "how much did u turn up the boost?"... he said " i didn't , we are still on 10psi:D he checked the plugs,, then made another pull .. (this time it spiked to 11psi).. and made 381whp he asked me if i wanted to stop there,, im thinking in my head "yea okk, lets keep it going" i told him 15psi or 450whp. and i'll be happy ... being as how this is a PUMP GAS tune!! he shook his head and turned up the boost to 12psi!! started the pull, and the clutch slipped something terrible!! and after another try, he said it was as much as he could do considering the slipping clutch.. so it ended like this 344whp@10psi (which i believe could have been cleaned up a bit, had the boost controller held) 381whp@11psi (was set for 10psi, but spiked to 11psi) oh and we were only revving the car to 8500rpm, coz im -----!! lmaoo dropping valves scare me 10psi pull!! http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...h_MVI_8268.jpg http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/i...t=MVI_8268.flv Attachment 12444 |

great #'s.. i was more than happy!! well it was time for a new clutch, and MB Racing cut me a deal on a Competition Clutch stage 5!! went back to Chris.. and this is how it went!! slowly made pulls.. and it was getting around what Chris considers iffy for pump gas.. so at 13.8psi (14psi).. the car made 436whp *the red graph is the same psi but with a failing spring in the gate (crazy ass dipp at around 7100RPM) * the green graph is the same 13.8psi , but with the problem corrected Attachment 12443 this is the lower hp pull http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...h_MVI_8734.jpg http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/i...t=MVI_8734.flv |

ok, so everything was going great.. and i decided to buy a back up turbo that will make more power!! i went with a BW Bullseye S366!! (i have seen a few cars make well over 800whp on them) the problem now is that because of the AC compatable manifold.. the turbo was now hitting the block, Radiator and the slave cylinder.. not to mention shitty Downpipe clearance!! the T67 bearly fit as -is. Attachment 12435 so i started to look into getting another manifold.. i was thinking maybe TopMount!! ( they help shorten spool time on larger turbos) i looked everwhereeeeeee, got a few good priced too!! but 3-5 weeks to get it.. because most was on backorder!!! ............................... i called up Roland @ MB Racing to get some hardware (-AN fittings, clamps , couplers, etc).. and while talking to him , i told him my plans and power goals.. i also mentioned what a shittt time i was having finding a manifold!! he said he can make me one.. i had seen a few and they looked good!! ( but no real research on them, or gains or losses) so it was sort of a gamble on my part. i asked how much and how fast ... (he gave me a greattt price, and said it would be made from scratch , custom for my car .. and would take 3-5 days).. to make a long story short,, 7 days later it was delivered to my job in Manhattan . I had to check it in at security because they didn't know what kinda weapon it was, lmaoooo few pix.. T3/T4 topmount manifold, with a free 40mm Tial gate flange!! Attachment 12436 don't mind the random flip-flop!! Attachment 12437 Attachment 12438 Attachment 12439 new 40mm Tial gate and dumptube Attachment 12440 |
